Thought I would report in here as I will probably take most of the weekend off.
My angiogram went very smoothly and my heart (as I suspected all along) is healthy. No blockages so no work had to be done. My leg is sore where they went in and I am groggy from the sedatives but I didn't have to be given a general anesthetic and was home by 1 pm....3-5 hours earlier than they first quoted!
Thanks to everyone for your encouragement and support. I couldn't have done it without you!
Just one more word. Don't be surprised if the entry area and surrounding tissues turn an ugly black and blue. There is no way they can suture the artery so a little blood seeps out every so often. Not a big deal. Just rest and stay off your legs as much as possible. Your body will absorb the leaked blood.
And I am happy that everything turned out so well for you.
